Just wanna share something with myLotters. I just accept part-time work so that i can help my husband to manage the family spenses, in the mean time i am a student, pursuing my study to a higher level and i just gave birth to a cute son last march. Right now i'm quite tired because i need to do all things, though my husband help a little here and there. Hmm..how do moms out there manage all this, please give me some tips, advice or anything that can help me.

I could imagine your life and how tired you are.As i said to others also that just think that in every sacrifices we have theres always success at the end.So you may having hard life now but it will not stay like that forever.One day you will be bless more and everything will be easier for you.Just look at your son and husband when you feel tired and they will take it away.

wow mother really cares. i am a husband and a father of 2 kids, 2 1/2 y/o and 1 1/2 y/o. i may not understand your emotion as a mother but now i am acting as a mother and a father because my wife now is in japan trying to earn some extra money for our family and for her family too. let me tell you my daily habit with my kids. in 6 a.m. we are out of bed i will give them milk. cleans the bottles. 7 am ready the children to go to bath 8 am try to cook some noodles and feed them 9 am give my children to their grandparents and let them play with neighbors. this is the time i can have my rest 10 am wash dishes. 11 am my mother in law will return my children and the food she cook (yes my mother in law cook food for me) 12 pm eat lunch wash dishes while my children watch cartoons 1 to 4 pm we just do siesta because i live in warm region 5 pm give back my children to their granparents 6 pm returns home feed the children. wash their bodies and ready them to go to bed. 9 pm by this time we are now asleep or trying to get one. but this is not the every day rituals some may be change but it is all depends on your time management.

Hi There, It certainly sounds like you have an awful lot to do. That is very ambitious of you! My advice would first of all to make sure you do not do too much and burn out. If that happens everyone loses. Other than that you will have to manage your time and prioritize what is most important to you. Those on the bottom of the list will have to go. cheers,

Wow, that's many things on your shoulder. I'm not a mother yet, but I believe it's very hard to cope with all the things you doing now. So, I just hope and believe that you can overcome all that very soon. And I guess when you put more love in caring for your cute son, more love on your study and the part time job, you will feel joy to do all this despite those tiredness! Do share your feelings and burden with your husband. He should know and appreciate you alot more. Take care.

It always boils down to the same thing. Time management. Dont laze around, get sufficient sleep so u dont get too tired

You would really need to master the art of time management. Set your priorities: like does my baby comes first over my husband over my studies over my work. Obviously, your baby comes first since he's only 3 months old and is really dependent on you. Seek out the help of your family members like parents or siblings during their spare time, they can help you out with minor housework. What I am curious though, you still have time to squeeze in myLot discussions? Or is this one of your part-time work in a way?
